You know what I think the guy who reviewed the live show for Pitchfork suffers from? Shy/asshole confusion. I'm not an asshole. I don't think I have to prove that to anyone, but I'm just putting that out there. I just think people should know that I'm not trying too hard. I think some people are just bitter that they ended up reviewing the show rather than playing the show, perhaps.
Nicholas ThorburnWhen people all wear the same thing, people notice. They aren't stupid. People don't go, "Oh, you can see right through them!"
Nicholas ThorburnYou're forced to step into that performer role. I can't just hide behind a synthesizer forever.
Nicholas ThorburnI can tell what inspired the songs for me, or what I was thinking and feeling at the time. But I don't want that to be the definitive meaning behind the song. I like the idea that people can interpret, even if they're way off base. I'm rambling. I'm not good at talking about my feelings.
